Busboys and Poets entrance located behind the public art
You do not have to look very hard in DC to find some good projects. Check out www.cityvistadc.com for a closer look at this very “mixed” use project. It’s tenant list almost sounds like the wish list of every downtown in America today. Grocery Store? Check. Hardware store? Check. Dry Cleaners? Check. In addition to a bank and and pharmacy, it includes a Starbucks on one side and Busboys and Poets on the other. Don’t forget the public art. Check. As an additional amenity, the project includes a 1-acre park in the middle of the block. The residential component offers apartments for rent as well as condos for sale. Today you find many potential residents debating the economics of renting versus buying. Why not offer both? (In DC you can get away with that as it seems the recession is over here.) Anyway, it appears the developer, Lowe Enterprises, assembled a terrific team and pulled off a great deal. More pics below.
